35080 (2025). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: How many WorkSafe staff contributed to the setup of the road cone hotline, and what was the estimated number of hours worked?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that WorkSafe New Zealand had a BAU project team of 3 FTE working on the set up of the hotline. Staff from across WorkSafe business units contributed to the work, including Digital and Technology; Data and Insights; Regulatory Services (notifications team), and the Inspectorate. WorkSafe did not keep a record of the number of hours staff contributed to the setup of the hotline.
